Consent & Preference Management
Collect consent. Sync preferences. Act on both instantly.
Only Transcend answers “can I use this data” in real-time across marketing platforms, data stack, and AI training models. Enforcing consent and preferences at the network level across web, mobile, and backend, the platform orchestrates every communication and privacy preference to all your downstream systems.

The Status QuoConsent only gets recorded. Preferences are fragmented.
A banner records a choice. It doesn't block a cookie, and it definitely doesn't tell your team what a user actually wants. Most tools stop at the front end: fragmented consent and preferences sit in a database that marketing can't touch without a spreadsheet export or a favor from engineering. That's not compliance. That's paperwork.
The opportunity
With Transcend, consent and preferences are encoded and enforced across every system
Built for scale, not stitched together
Scale to new brands, markets, and domains without rebuilding your consent infrastructure. Govern every website, app, and region from one dashboard, and adapt to new regulations through configuration, not a constant cycle of custom engineering.
Enforced everywhere, automatically
The moment a user updates a preference or opts out, that choice is enforced across your entire stack in real time. Every downstream system, from your CRM to your ad platforms, is updated automatically, with no manual sync or engineering effort.
Data your AI initiatives can actually use
Every consent choice, including Do Not Train signals, is logged with a timestamp and full audit trail, so your AI teams build on data that's provably permissioned the moment a regulator or model auditor asks.
the Transcend differenceThe gap between recording consent and enforcing it
Consent at the network level
Transcend's Airgap is a lightweight script that uses proprietary, network-level technology to intercept and block tracking events before they fire, if consent is needed. We temporarily hold the tracking events locally until consent is given, so you get more of the actionable permissioned data. This allows you to stay compliant without dropping analytics events and losing parts of the user journey.
See Airgap.js docs
Resolves conflicting consent, before it happens
When an anonymous choice and an authenticated record disagree, like an opt-out on one device and a login on another, Transcend applies your chosen rule automatically: most recent wins, most restrictive wins, or the account record always governs. One consent state, decided in advance, not reconciled after the fact.
